Hotpoint Washer/Dryer WD440 - location of connectors on PCB?

[leo79]

Hi

My washing machine is displaying code F02 which I've found points to motor jammed or Tacho failure.

On checking connector J9 on PCB, 2 connectors have come off and I don't know where they go!!

I've attached pics.

Any help appreciated

Thanks

Leo

Can anybody help me

Are the two leads you marked on the second photo the same two that appear in the photo of the pcb?
The heater element must have 2 supply cables, but it doesn't matter which way round they go (if that is what you are wondering).

Thanks Zipper

Yes they are the same leads, do you know where they plug in on the PCB?

I've got 6 options:

The 2 connections to the right of the sticker (on photo)

2 connections above 4 block connector bottom left hand side

2 connections above 3 block connector top right hand side

Thanks

Leo

You may be in trouble...I can't pull a schematic for this model & I can't remember the pcb configuration
Look on the pcb for a connector block marked J3. Are pins 5 & 6 available? If they are I can only suggest one of 3 things: 1: Wait until our resident Indesit guru reads this post (rocks1)....2: Contact Indesit & ask which connector pins supply heater voltage on this pcb (they probably won't tell you)....or 3: Connect a multimeter to pins 5 & 6 on J3 (isolate the two vacant wires). Then run a wash cycle & check if 240v appears on your meter after approx 10-20mins. Of course a prerequisite to doing the latter would rely on the original F02 fault being resolved first.

I've got J5 which has 2 terminals, one terminal marked up with 1.
J3, 2 terminals, one terminal marked up 6.
J4, 2 terminals, one terminal marked up 5

Thanks

The 2 wires go on j 3. Tags 5 and 6. Don't matter what way round.

There you go

Thank you both so much, really appreciated
